Added

In the course of conducting our business operations, we are exposed to a variety of risks, some of which are inherent in our industry and others of which are more specific to our own business. In addition to the other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other filings we have made and will make in the future with the SEC, you should carefully consider the following risk factors and uncertainties, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems immaterial also may materially, adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results.

Removed

Investing in our securities involves risks. You should carefully consider, among other matters, the factors set forth below together with all of the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before making an investment decision. The Company’s risk factors set forth below are not the only risks facing the Company. If any of these risk factors should occur, moreover, the trading price of our securities could decline, and investors in our securities could lose all or part of their investment in our securities. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems immaterial also may materially, adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results. We may amend or supplement the risk factors set forth below from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC. These risk factors are not exhaustive and all investors are encouraged to perform their own investigation with respect to our business, financial condition and prospects.

Risks RelatedRelating to our Business

Added

Our strategic focus on automating and modernizing the workplace through artificial intelligence involves significant execution risks, and failure to successfully develop or monetize these solutions could materially harm our business.

Added

A key element of our corporate strategy is the deployment of artificial intelligence, including agentic AI, machine learning, and intelligent workflow automation, into our core platforms to automate enterprise workflows. Executing this strategy requires substantial upfront and ongoing investments in technology infrastructure, proprietary data modeling, and specialized engineering talent. The market for AI solutions is rapidly evolving, highly competitive, and subject to shifting client preferences. If our AI-enabled platforms fail to deliver anticipated efficiencies, if clients resist adopting these automated workflows, or if we are unable to keep pace with the technological advancements of larger, better-funded competitors, our strategy may not succeed. Furthermore, the increasing integration of AI into mission-critical and highly regulated workflows exposes us to complex regulatory, execution and implementation risks. As the Company deploys AI to automate workflows previously performed by its own workforce, it faces the risk that this automation displaces higher-margin managed service revenues faster than new AI-enabled revenue streams can replace them, compressing margins during the transition period. If we are unable to successfully develop, deploy, and monetize our AI-driven solutions, our competitive position, revenue growth, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Added

Many of the Company’s client contracts may be terminated without cause and with limited notice, and government contracts subject it to audits, investigations and potential penalties that could result in contract termination, financial liability and reputational damage.

Added

Many of the Company’s client contracts may be terminated by its clients without cause and without any fee or penalty, with only limited notice. The Company may not be able to replace a client that elects to terminate or fails to renew its contract with it. In addition, a portion of the Company’s revenues is derived from contracts with the U.S. federal and state governments and their agencies and from contracts with foreign governments and their agencies. Government entities typically finance projects through appropriated funds. The public procurement environment is unpredictable and this could adversely affect the Company’s ability to perform work under new and existing contracts. Any such reductions in revenue could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Removed

The Company’s ability to achieve continued and sustained profitability is uncertain.

Removed

The Company’s profitability depends on, among other things, its ability to generate revenue in excess of its expenses. However, the Company has significant and continuing fixed costs and expenses, which it may not be able to reduce adequately to sustain such profitability if its revenue continues to decrease, or if revenue does not increase commensurately with an increase in costs. In addition, the Company may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown events that may cause its costs to exceed its expectations. In addition, the Company now incurs additional legal, accounting and other expenses that it did not incur when it operated as a subsidiary of ETI, as further described in the risk factor entitled “The Company will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations” below.

Removed

The Company’s revenues have declined over the last few years due to, among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic, a loss of clients, the completion of certain one-off projects, currency fluctuation exposure, the transition of the Company’s clients to lower revenue but higher margin systems and platforms, and changes of clients’ technology that has resulted in fewer transactions that fall under the contractual arrangements with the Company. Contracts with several other large clients are up for renewal. Although these contracts are expected to be renewed, there can be no assurances that they will be renewed on favorable terms or at all.

Removed

Further, the Company’s revenues may be adversely affected by many factors, including but not limited to a future pandemic; a potential recession in Europe; the inability to attract new clients to use its services; a failure by existing clients to renew their contracts or use additional services (or a decision by existing clients to cease or reduce using the Company’s services); the lengthening of its sales cycles and implementation periods; changes in its client mix; failure of clients to pay invoices on a timely basis or at all; a failure in the performance of the Company’s solutions or internal controls that adversely affects its reputation or results in loss of business; the loss of market share to existing or new competitors; the failure to enter or succeed in new markets; regional or global economic conditions or regulations affecting perceived need for or value of the Company’s services; or the Company’s inability to develop new offerings, expand its offerings or drive adoption of its new offerings on a timely basis and thus potentially not meeting evolving market needs.

Removed

The Company’s future profitability also may be impacted by non-cash charges and potential impairment of goodwill, which will negatively affect its reported financial results. Even if it achieves profitability on an annual basis, the Company may not be able to achieve profitability on a quarterly basis. The Company may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including those described elsewhere herein. Any inability of the Company to achieve continued and sustained profitability may adversely impact its financial position and may require the Company to seek additional financing (which will be subject to the risks described in the risk factor below entitled “The Company may need to raise debt or equity financing, which it may be unable to do on favorable terms or at all”).

Removed

The Company may need to raise debt or equity financing, which it may be unable to do on favorable terms or at all.

Removed

The Company may be unable to generate continued and sustained profitability, or may incur significant losses in the future. As a result, the Company may need to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financing at some point in the future. Any debt agreements the Company enters into at such time may include financial or operational covenants which may constrain its ability to operate its business, and any inability to satisfy covenants contained in any debt agreements may require prepayment and/or refinancing of such debt. The Company may also be unable to raise debt and/or equity financing at an attractive price or on attractive terms or at all.

Removed

The limited public float of the Company may also adversely affect its ability to raise debt and/or equity financing on attractive terms or at all. For more, see “The Company has a limited public float, which adversely affects trading volume and liquidity, and may adversely affect the price of the Common Stock and access to additional capital.”

Removed

The Company relies on ETI, which is a highly leveraged company that faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. An adverse event affecting ETI may affect the delivery and availability of the services the Company relies on ETI to provide.

Removed

The Company is majority-owned by ETI and depends on services that ETI has historically provided. ETI has agreed to continue providing certain services and fulfilling other obligations pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Services Agreement, and the License Agreement. However, ETI's financial instability raises concerns about its ability to perform these obligations on a sustained basis.

Removed

As of September 30, 2024, ETI had approximately $1.1 billion in third-party debt outstanding (of which $51.2 million was classified as current debt) on a consolidated basis. ETI’s financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, filed in its Form 10-Q, expressed substantial doubt about ETI’s ability to continue as a going concern under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern.

Removed

On November 6, 2024, Nasdaq notified ETI that its securities would be delisted, and trading of ETI’s securities was suspended on November 8, 2024. On January 27, 2025, ETI filed Form 15 with the SEC to deregister its securities, effectively suspending its public reporting obligations.

Removed

On March 3, 2025, most of ETI's U.S. and three Canadian subsidiaries, excluding the Company, filed voluntary petitions for bankruptcy relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (such subsidiaries, the “ETI Debtor Subs”). These include entities that historically provided services and support to the Company. As a result, the Company’s reliance on these entities is at risk, and the following potential risks arise:

Removed

• Service Disruption: ETI Debtor Subs' ability to continue providing services under the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Services Agreement, and the License Agreement may be compromised, potentially impacting the Company’s operations, financial reporting, and compliance.

Removed

• Financial Exposure: ETI Debtor Subs' bankruptcy may limit their ability to satisfy financial or contractual obligations to the Company, potentially resulting in unexpected costs, liabilities, or disputes.

Removed

• Reputational Risk: ETI's financial instability and bankruptcy may create negative market perceptions that could adversely affect the Company’s business relationships and investor confidence.

Removed

• Operational Uncertainty: The bankruptcy process may involve restructuring efforts, asset sales, or legal disputes that could result in changes to the organizational structure or business strategy of the ETI Debtor Subs, further disrupting the Company's reliance on their services.

Removed

• Potential Legal and Financial Impact: ETI Debtor Subs' bankruptcy proceedings may result in creditor actions or other claims that indirectly affect the Company, including those arising from the Company’s announced potential acquisition of the debtor subsidiaries upon their emergence from bankruptcy.

Removed

The Company has entered into a new related party agreement with HOV Services Ltd. to help mitigate the risk of service disruption from the ETI Debtor Subs; however, there can be no assurance that this mitigation effort will be successful, and the Company is continuing to monitor the situation closely.

Removed

There can be no assurance that the ETI Debtor Subs will successfully emerge from bankruptcy in a manner that allows them to meet their obligations to the Company or that the Company's reliance on the ETI Debtor Subs will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Removed

If the Company is unable to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results in a timely manner or there may be misstatements in its financial statements (which may include material misstatements), any of which may adversely affect investor confidence and materially and adversely affect business and operating results.

Removed

The Company’s financial statements were prepared in reliance on information provided by, and personnel of, ETI. There can be no assurance that its internal controls will be effective, which could adversely affect its ability to accurately report its financial statements in a timely manner or there may be misstatements in its financial statements (which may be material misstatements). The occurrence of any such events may adversely affect investor confidence and materially and adversely affect business and operating results.

Removed

There can be no assurances that ETI will continue to control the Company in the future. Any change in control of the Company may impact its strategy or business, including in a manner adverse to the Company’s stockholders.

Removed

For various strategic reasons, ETI may need to raise additional financing and may choose to engage in non-strategic divestitures and/or liquidations of assets including, potentially, dispositions of shares of Common Stock. In the event ETI disposes of shares of Common Stock, such dispositions may cause the market value of the Common Stock to decline or could result in a change of control of the Company. Any change in control of the Company may result in a change in the Company’s strategy or business, including in a manner adverse to the Company’s stockholders.

Removed

Historical or new adverse issues associated with ETI or its management, such as litigation and its recent Nasdaq delisting and deregistration of its securities, as well as issues associated with the Company, may adversely impact the Company’s reputation, business and financial position and share price.

Removed

Significant negative news, adverse legal or regulatory findings, material litigation, reputational damage and other adverse developments associated with ETI and/or members of its management team, whether historical or in the future, may adversely impact the Company’s reputation, business and financial position and share price.

Removed

ETI and its predecessor entities and management (including members of the Company’s management) have been subject to a variety of claims, including claims that resulted in certain adverse settlements and judgments against ETI, and may in the future be subject to claims. In addition, ETI’s securities are no longer listed on Nasdaq, and ETI filed a Form 15 on January 27, 2025 to deregister ETI’s Common Stock and Series B Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, which filing immediately suspended ETI’s reporting obligations under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.

Removed

Such historical claims, settlements or judgments, or any new claims, whether or not successful, by ETI or the Company, or the delisting of ETI’s securities by Nasdaq and deregistration of its securities under the Exchange Act and suspension of its reporting obligations, may adversely affect the reputation or perception of the Company and its management team, and ultimately, the Company’s business, financial position, and share price.

Removed

Certain of the Company’s contracts are subject to rights of termination, audit and/or investigation, which, if exercised, could negatively impact the Company’s reputation and reduce the Company’s ability to compete for new contracts and have an adverse effect on its business, results of operation and financial condition.

Removed

Many of the Company’s client contracts may be terminated by its clients without cause and without any fee or penalty, with only limited notice. Any failure to meet a client’s expectations, as well as factors beyond the Company’s control, including a client’s financial condition, strategic priorities, or mergers and acquisitions, could result in a cancellation or non-renewal of such a contract or a decrease in business provided to the Company and cause its actual results to differ from its forecasts. The Company may not be able to replace a client that elects to terminate or not renew its contract with it, which would reduce its revenues. As described in the risk factor entitled “The Company’s ability to achieve continued and sustained profitability is uncertain” above.

Removed

In addition, a portion of the Company’s revenues is derived from contracts with foreign governments and their agencies. Government entities typically finance projects through appropriated funds. While these projects are often planned and executed as multi-year projects, government entities usually reserve the right to change the scope of, or terminate, these projects for lack of approved funding and/or at their convenience. Changes in government or political developments, including budget deficits, shortfalls or uncertainties, government spending reductions (e.g., during a government transition) or other debt or funding constraints could result in lower governmental sales and in the Company’s projects being reduced in price or scope or terminated altogether, which also could limit its recovery of incurred costs, reimbursable expenses and profits on work completed prior to the termination. The public procurement environment is unpredictable and this could adversely affect the Company’s ability to perform work under new and existing contracts. These risks can potentially have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenue growth and profit margins.

Reworded

Moreover, government contracts are generally subject to a right to conduct audits and investigations by government agencies. Additionally,If if thea government discoversentity determines that there were contractual breaches or improper or illegal activities orrelated contractualto non-complianceany (includinggovernment improper billing),contracts, the Company may be subject to various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from doing business with the government. Any resulting penalties or sanctions could be substantial. Further, the negative publicity that could arise from any such penalties, sanctions or findings in such audits or investigations could have an adverse effect on the Company’s reputation in the industry and reduce its ability to compete for new contracts and could materially adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Added

The Company’s long-term contracts are based on cost estimates that may prove inaccurate, and its inability to offset increased operational costs with corresponding fee increases could materially impact its financial performance.

Removed

The Company may not be able to offset increased costs with increased fees under its contracts.

Reworded

The pricing and other terms of the Company’s client contracts are based on estimates and assumptions the Company makes at the time it enters into thesethose contracts. These estimates reflect the Company’s best judgments regarding the nature of the engagement and the Company’sits expected costs to provide the contracted services and could differ from actual results. Not all of the Company’s larger long-term contracts allow for escalation of fees as the Company’s costs of operationsoperation increase and those that allow for such escalations do not always allow fee increases at rates comparable to cost increases that the Company experiences. In circumstances whereWhere the Company cannot negotiate long-term contract terms that provide for fee adjustments to reflect increases in the Company’sits cost of service delivery, the Company’s business, financial conditions, and results of operationoperations and financial condition could be materially impacted. AnyThe suchCompany increasehas entered into, and expects to continue to enter into, contracts in costswhich mayfees requireare contingent in whole or in part on achieving specified performance metrics or client outcomes.

The Company operates in a highly competitive industry and faces significant competition from companies with stronger financial resources, better brand recognition and lower-cost operations, as well as from clients who may choose to perform services in-house.

Removed

The Company faces significant competition, including from clients who may elect to perform their business processes in-house or invest in their own technologies in-house.

Reworded

The Company’s industry is highly competitive, fragmented and subject to rapid change. The Company competes primarily against local, national, regional and large multi-national information and payment technology companies, including focused businessworkflow process outsourcing (“BPO”)automation companies based in offshore locations, asworkflow wellautomation asdivisions of information technology companies, other BPOworkflow automation and business process automation, consulting services and digital transformation solution providers that focus onand the in-house capabilities of the Company’s clients and potential clients. These competitors may include entrants from adjacent industries or entrants in geographic locations with lower costs than those in which the Company operates.

Added

As agentic AI, LLMs, and intelligent document processing tools become increasingly accessible, we expect competition to intensify. We may face new competitive pressures from AI-native software startups and major global technology companies entering the workflow automation space. Furthermore, the proliferation of highly capable, off-the-shelf AI tools may increasingly empower our clients and potential clients to seamlessly perform complex digital transformations and workflow automations in-house, significantly reducing their reliance on our services and managed platforms. Increased competition, the Company’s inability to compete successfully against competitors, pricing pressures or loss of market share could result in reduced operating margins, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Removed

Some of the Company’s competitors have greater financial, marketing, technological or other resources, larger client bases and more established reputations or brand awareness than it does. In addition, some of the Company’s competitors who do not have, or have limited, global delivery capabilities may expand their delivery centers to the countries in which it operates or increase their capacity in lower cost geographies, which could result in increased competition. Some of the Company’s competitors may also enter into strategic or commercial relationships among themselves or with larger, more established companies in order to benefit from increased scale and enhanced scope capabilities or enter into similar arrangements with potential clients. Further, the Company expects competition to intensify in the future as more companies enter its markets and clients consolidate the services they require among fewer vendors. Increased competition, the Company’s inability to compete successfully against competitors, pricing pressures or loss of market share could result in reduced operating margins, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

The process of developing new services and solutions is inherently complex and uncertain. It requires accurate anticipation of clients’ changing needs and emerging technological trends. The Company must make long-term investments and commit significant resources before knowing whether these investments will eventually result in services that achieve client acceptance and generate the revenues required to provide desired returns. If the Company fails to accurately anticipate and meet its clients’ needs through the development of new technologies and service offerings or if its new services are not widely accepted, it could lose market share and clients to its competitors and that could materially adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.

Reworded

If the Company fails to accurately anticipate and meet its clients’ needs through the development of new technologies and service offerings or if its new services are not widely accepted, the Company could lose market share and clients to its competitors, which could materially adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition. More specifically, the business processworkflow automation industry in which part of the Company’s business operates is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and changing client preferences.preferences, especially with regards to AI and intelligent workflow automation. While we have made investments in AI-related technologies, the rapid development of artificial general intelligence by third parties may render our proprietary decisioning engines less competitive. The success of the Company’s business depends, in part, upon its ability to develop technology and solutions that keep pace with changes in its industry and the industries of its clients. Although the Company has made, and will continue to make, significant investments in the research, design and development of new technology and platforms-drivenplatform-driven solutions, it may not be successful in addressing these changes on a timely basis or in marketing the changes it implements. In addition, products or technologies developed by others may render the Company’s services uncompetitive or obsolete. Failure to address these developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, existing and potential clients are actively shifting their businesses away from paper-based environments to electronic environments with reduced needs for physical document management and processing. This shift may result in decreased demand for the physical document management services the Company provides.provides Thoughsuch that its business and revenues may become more reliant on technology-based services in electronic environments, which are typically provided at lower prices compared to physical document management services. Although the Company has solutions for clients seeking to make these types of transitions, a significant shift by its clients away from physical documents to non-paper basednon-paper-based technologies, whether now existing or developed in the future, could adversely affect its business, results of operationoperations and financial condition.

Added

The Company’s reliance on third-party hardware and software creates risks of service disruptions, increased costs and operational delays if vendors discontinue products or raise prices, or if it encounters defects in third-party components.

Removed

Also, some of the large international companies in the industry have significant financial resources and compete with us to provide document processing services and/or business process services. The Company competes primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, distribution and client service and support. The Company’s success in future performance is largely dependent upon its ability to compete successfully, to promptly and effectively react to changing technologies and client expectations and to expand into additional market segments. To remain competitive, The Company must develop services and applications; periodically enhance its existing offerings; remain cost efficient; and attract and retain key personnel and management. If competitors innovate faster and better by utilizing AI, the Company may be adversely impacted. The heightened interest in AI may increase competition and disrupt the Company’s business model. Further, AI may lower barriers to entry in our industry and we may be unable to compete with products or services offered by new competitors. AI related changes may also affect our clients’ expectations and requirements in ways we cannot adequately anticipate or adapt to, causing our business to lose sales. If the Company is unable to compete successfully, the Company could lose market share and important clients to its competitors and that could materially adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s business could be materially and adversely affected if it does not protect its intellectual property or if its services are found to infringe on the intellectual property of others, or if the intellectual property ETI or its subsidiaries provides under the License Agreement is not protected or is found to infringe on the intellectual property of others.

Removed

The Company’s success depends in part on certain methodologies and practices it utilizes in developing and implementing applications and other proprietary intellectual property rights. In order to protect such rights, the Company relies upon a combination of nondisclosure, license and other contractual arrangements, as well as trade secret, copyright, trademark and patent laws but the Company has limited registered intellectual property and, as a result, could in the future be subject to infringement claims which could lead to substantial additional costs. The Company’s operations depend on its ability to independently manage its intellectual property portfolio. The Company also generally enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees, clients and potential clients, and limits access to and distribution of its proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the laws, rules, regulations and treaties in effect in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the contractual and other protective measures it takes are or will be adequate to protect it from misappropriation or unauthorized use of its intellectual property, or that such laws will not change. There can be no assurance that the resources invested by the Company to protect its intellectual property will be sufficient or that its intellectual property portfolio will adequately deter misappropriation or improper use of its technology, and its intellectual property rights may not prevent competitors from independently developing or selling products and services similar to or duplicative of the Company’s. The Company may not be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its rights, and any such steps may be costly and unsuccessful. Infringement by others of the Company’s intellectual property, and the costs to the Company of enforcing its intellectual property rights, may have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company could also face competition in some countries where it has not invested in an intellectual property portfolio. If the Company is not able to protect its intellectual property, the value of its brand and other intangible assets may be diminished, and its business may be adversely affected. Further, although the Company believes that it is not infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, claims may nonetheless be successfully asserted against it in the future, and the Company may be the target of enforcement of patents or other intellectual property by third parties, including aggressive and opportunistic enforcement claims by non-practicing entities. Regardless of the merit of such claims, responding to infringement claims can be expensive and time-consuming. If the Company is found to infringe any third-party rights, the Company could be required to pay substantial damages or it could be enjoined from offering some of its products and services. The costs of defending any such claims could be significant, and any successful claim may require the Company to modify its services. The value of, or the Company’s ability to use, its intellectual property may also be negatively impacted by dependencies on third parties, such as its ability to obtain or renew on reasonable terms licenses that the Company needs in the future, or its ability to secure or retain ownership or rights to use data in certain software analytics or services offerings. Any such circumstances may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Removed

In addition, as described above, the Company relies on ETI for certain services, including intellectual property of ETI and its subsidiaries, which are provided pursuant to the License Agreement. Such intellectual property is subject to many of the same risks described above. In particular, the Company relies on ETI and its subsidiaries to protect such intellectual property, and its business operations may be materially impacted if such intellectual property is determined to have infringed on the intellectual property rights of others. For more, see the risk factor above entitled “The Company relies on ETI, which is a highly leveraged public company and faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. An adverse event affecting ETI may affect the delivery and availability of the services the Company relies on ETI to provide.”

Removed

The Company’s revenues are highly dependent on the banking and finance industries, and any decrease in demand for business process solutions in these industries could reduce its revenues and adversely affect the results of operations.

Removed

A substantial portion of the Company’s revenues are derived from the banking and finance industries. Clients in banking and financial services accounted for 51% of the Company’s revenues in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Clients who provide commercial services accounted for 5% of the Company’s revenues in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Clients in the services, technology, and manufacturing industries accounted for 17% and 19% of the Company’s revenues in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s success largely depends on continued demand for its services from clients in these segments, and a downturn or reversal of the demand for business process solutions in any of these segments, or the introduction of regulations that restrict or discourage companies from engaging its services, could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, consolidation in any of these industries or combinations or mergers, particularly involving the Company’s clients, may decrease the potential number of clients for its services. The Company has been affected by the worsening of economic conditions and significant consolidation in the financial services industry and the continuation of this trend may negatively affect its revenues and profitability. Europe’s persistently high inflation, caused in part by increasing energy prices, as a result of the conflict in the Ukraine, may not ease despite measures aimed at reducing inflation. A recession in Europe (including the EU and the UK) may lead to further consolidation in the financial services industry, a reduction in demand for the Company’s services or otherwise adversely affect the Company’s operations or financial performance.

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

TheWe Companyconduct conducts itsour annual goodwill impairment tests on October 11st of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. When performing the annual impairment test, thewe Company hashave the option of performing a qualitative or quantitative assessment to determine if an impairment has occurred. If a qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Companywe would be required to perform a quantitative impairment test for goodwill. A quantitative test requires comparison of fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. TheWe Company usesuse a combination of the Guideline Public Company Method of the Market Approach and the Discounted Cash Flow Method of the Income Approach to determine the reporting unit fair value. For the Guideline Public Company Method, the Company’sour annual impairment test utilizes valuation multiples of publicly traded peer companies. For the Discounted Cash Flow Method, theour annual impairment test utilizes discounted cash flow projections using market participant weighted average cost of capital calculation. If the fair value of goodwill at the reporting unit level is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded for the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. During the period August 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, the Company experienced a sustained and significant decline in its market capitalization causing the market capitalization to fall below the Company’s book value after the application of fresh start accounting at Emergence Date. We conductedconcluded ourthat this sustained decline, combined with revised long-term projections compared to those used to compute enterprise value of the reconstituted Successor as set forth in the Disclosure Statement for Joint Plan of Reorganization approved by the Bankruptcy Court, represented a triggering event under ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. As a result, we performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for all reporting units as of September 30, 2025 (Successor). Our interim impairment assessment as of September 30, 2025 (Successor) utilized the Discounted Cash Flow Method of the Income Approach and the Guideline Public Company Method of the Market Approach to determine the reporting units’ fair values. For the Discounted Cash Flow Method, we utilized discounted cash flow projections using market participant weighted average cost of capital calculation. The Guideline Public Company Method utilized market data of similar publicly traded companies. In connection with the completion of the interim impairment test, we recorded an impairment charge of $215.8 million and $80.0 million to goodwill relating to the reporting units included in the Applied Workflow Automation segment and Technology segment, respectively, as of September 30, 2025 (Successor). The Company did not update its analysis for purposes of the annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 20242025, andas 2023,the andmeasurement concludeddate thatof therethe interim impairment test performed as of September 30, 2025, was noone day from the annual impairment intest ourdate. goodwillAdditionally, and other intangible assetslater during the years.fourth quarter of 2025, the Company conducted its annual budgeting process along with an update to its long-range plan. Following the completion of that process, the Company made an evaluation based on changes in the Company’s long-term projections, concluding that a triggering event for an impairment analysis had occurred for certain reporting units reported under the Applied Workflow Automation segment. Revised long-term projections resulted in lower than previously projected long-term future cash flows for certain reporting units which reduced the estimated fair values to below their carrying values. Accordingly, the Company performed quantitative impairment test as of December 31, 2025 (Successor), resulting in an impairment charge of $24.5 million to goodwill relating to the reporting units reported under the Applied Workflow Automation segment. Therefore, as a result of these two interim impairment assessments performed on September 30, 2025 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Successor), impairment charges totalling $320.3 million, were recorded to goodwill for the period August 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (Successor).

XBP Global Holdings, Inc. was originally incorporated as CF Acquisition Corp. VIII, a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 8, 2020. On March 16, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering. The Company’s initial purpose was to effect a business combination with one or more businesses. On October 9, 2022, CF Acquisition Corp. VIII entered into a merger agreement with XBP Europe, Inc., at the time a subsidiary of ETI. The business combination was completed on November 30, 2023, at which time the Company was renamed XBP Europe Holdings, Inc., reflecting the purchase of ETI’s historical European operations, and the Company’s shares and public warrants started trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker symbols “XBP” and “XBPEW,” respectively.

Added

On July 29, 2025, XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. finalized its acquisition of BPA, ETI’s historical operations in the Americas and Asia, as part of the Business Combination pursuant to the MIPA. The consideration for the sale was $1.00, reflecting the encumbered nature of BPA which at the time of entry into the MIPA was involved in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Business Combination was subject to certain conditions subsequent including emergence of BPA and certain of its affiliates from the Chapter 11 Cases, which occurred on July 29, 2025. Prior to the Business Combination, the Company and BPA had both been indirect subsidiaries of ETI. ETI remains a stockholder of the Company and a related party; see Note 20, Related-Party Transactions. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from “XBP Europe Holdings, Inc.” to “XBP Global Holdings, Inc.”

Added

Together with the European operations acquired in 2023, the Company’s current global platform is built upon a portfolio of acquired and predecessor entities with more than 50 years of commercial and operational history.

Added

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. (now XBP Global) was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes even though BPA survives as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of XBP Global.

BPA Chapter 11 Reorganization

Added

On March 3, 2025, BPA commenced the Chapter 11 Cases. On July 29, 2025 (the “Emergence Date”), BPA consummated the Restructuring and emerged from bankruptcy having satisfied or waived all the conditions set forth in the Plan. In accordance with ASC 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”), BPA was required to apply fresh-start accounting upon its emergence from bankruptcy. The Company evaluated transaction activity of BPA between July 31, 2025 and the Emergence Date and concluded that the Convenience Date was appropriate for the adoption of fresh-start accounting which resulted in BPA becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes as of the Convenience Date.

Added

On the Emergence Date, in connection with the consummation of the Restructuring and pursuant to the Plan:

Added

In addition, on the Emergence Date, the 2026 Indentures were terminated, and all obligations thereunder were cancelled and discharged, with holders of claims thereunder receiving distributions of Common Stock as described above. The ABL Facility also replaced BPA’s then existing securitization arrangements with PNC Bank.

Added

As a result of the Restructuring and the Business Combination, the Company was no longer considered a “controlled company” under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Prior to the Restructuring and the Business Combination, BTC, an indirect subsidiary of ETI, owned approximately 60.7% of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Plan, BTC’s shares were distributed to holders of Allowed Notes Claims (including ETI). Post-issuance of new shares under the Plan, beneficial ownership is dispersed, with no beneficial holder owning more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company. As of December 31, 2025 ETI held approximately 25.7%, Gates Capital Management approximately 24.4%, and Avenue Capital approximately 9.3%, in each case, assuming the exercise of all warrants held by the Consenting ETI Parties. The Restructuring and the Business Combination represent a dissipation of control, not a “change of control” in the traditional sense, because no new third party acquired control of XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. as a result of the Restructuring of the BPA Debtors and the subsequent Business Combination. As of the date of this report, there are no known arrangements that may result in a further change in control.

Added

Predecessor and Successor

Added

The “Predecessor” company information refers to the financial information prior to the Emergence Date, which reflects the combined historical financial statements of BPA prepared using BPA’s previous combined basis of accounting. The “Successor” company information refers to the financial information beginning August 1, 2025 and reflects the consolidated financial statements of XBP Global, including the financial statement effects of recording fair value adjustments and the capital structure resulting from the Business Combination and fresh start accounting of BPA. Black lines have been drawn to separate the Successor’s financial information from that of the Predecessor since their financial statements are not comparable as a result of the application of acquisition accounting and the Company’s capital structure resulting from the Business Combination and fresh start accounting of BPA. The Predecessor period includes a $1.56 billion net reorganization gain from debt discharge and fresh-start adjustments, which is non-recurring and significantly affects comparability with the Successor period. See Note 4, Fresh Start Accounting and Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information.

Merger Agreement

Removed

On October 9, 2022, XBP Europe, Inc. entered into the Merger Agreement with CF VIII, BTC International and Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub, a newly formed subsidiary of CF VIII, merged with and into XBP Europe, Inc., with XBP Europe, Inc. surviving the Merger.

The net assets of CFVIII were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Merger were those of the Company.

Removed

Key Factors Affecting Company’s Business

Removed

The Company believes that its performance and future success depend upon several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges including those discussed below and in the section of this Annual Report titled “Risk Factors.”

Removed

Investment in Technology

Removed

The Company’s revenue growth depends heavily upon its ability to ensure a timely flow of competitive products, services and technologies to the marketplace while also leveraging its domain expertise. Through regular and sustained investment, licensing of intellectual property and acquisition of third-party businesses and technology, the Company continues to develop new knowledge platforms, applications and supporting service bundles that enhance and expand its existing suite of services. These efforts will require the Company to invest significant financial and other resources.

Removed

Acquiring new clients

Removed

The Company plans to continue developing new long-term, strategic client relationships, particularly where there is an opportunity to deliver a wide range of capabilities that have a meaningful impact on clients’ business outcomes. As such, the Company plans to leverage the solutions it has already introduced in some European markets, like Confirmation of Payee or Request To Pay, that are part of its XBP platform, and offer them to clients in other European markets as well as solutions and products within its F&A offering such as the ERP data consolidation solution. With the launch of XBP Omnidirect and Reaktr.ai, we are looking to expand our client base. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate becoming a registered payment service provider to supplement its existing solutions and services. The Company believes there is a long-term opportunity to expand in these markets to serve new clients.

Removed

The Company’s ability to attract new clients also depends on a number of factors, including the effectiveness and pricing of its products, its competitors’ offerings, and successfully executing its marketing efforts. Acquisition of new clients is expected to have a positive impact on the Company’s long-term profitability and operations.

Removed

Expanding the Company’s relationships with existing clients

Removed

In addition to acquiring new clients, the Company intends to continue retaining existing clients and pursue cross-selling and up-selling opportunities. With an existing base of over 2,000 clients, the Company believes there are meaningful opportunities to offer a bundled suite of services and to be a “one-stop-shop” for its clients’ bills and payments automation and broader digital transformation journeys.

Removed

The Company’s ability to influence clients to process more transactions and payments on its platforms has a direct impact on its revenue. As such, the Company offers a full suite of solutions by bundling integrated accounts payable and receivables, payment solutions, F&A services, master data management, reporting analytics along with integrated communication services for enterprise and small and medium businesses.

Reworded

To supplement its financial data presented on a basis consistent with GAAP, this Annual Reportreport contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are financial measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trends, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. We believe these measures also provide useful information to investors by allowing consistent period-to-period comparisons of our operating results after removing the effects of our capital structure, asset base, and certain non-recurring items. These measures exclude certain expenses that are required under GAAP. The Company excludes these items because they are non-recurring or non-cash expenses that are determined based in part on the Company’s underlying performance.

Reworded

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA

Added

We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus non-recurring transaction costs, non-cash equity compensation, restructuring and related expenses, loss/(gain) on sale of assets, impairment of goodwill and other non-recurring items such as reorganization items. We define Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA plus management’s estimates of the impact of the acquisition of XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. and reorganization of BPA, had such transactions occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Although no single client exceeded 10% of revenue, concentration remains in financial services, healthcare, and government, where regulatory complexity, procurement cycles, and budgetary constraints can affect contract timing and renewal economics.

Restructuring of European Operations

Added

In the second quarter of 2026, the Company committed to a restructuring program across its European operations. An operating footprint carrying more legal entities and small business units than the current scale of the business supports led management to approve two workstreams: consolidating smaller entities and business units into larger operating units, under which five sites closed; and reducing staffing levels across the remaining entities, functions and management layers. The program affects 245 employees across multiple locations, is expected to be substantially complete by December 31, 2026, and gave rise to restructuring charges of $5.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Reworded

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance and results of operations as our board of directors and management use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance, because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of our management team. Net income/loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures havehas important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude,exclude somesome, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are not audited and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
